Before Monday's EF5 tornado in Oklahoma, there had only been 58 in the United States since 1950, when reliable records began. That number is now up to 59 since the National Weather Service in Oklahoma revised their estimate of the strength of Monday's killer tornado.

The New Castle – Moore tornado was estimated to have maximum winds of 210 mph, making it an EF5.

In the FOX19 viewing area there has only been one tornado of that strength. On April 3, 1974 Sayler Park was Devastated by an F5 tornado during the famous Super Outbreak. The Sayler Park tornado covered 21 miles in 23 minutes for an average speed of 54.8 mph. It killed 3 people and injured 210.

Monday's New Castle – Moore tornado was on the ground for 50 minutes and covered 17 miles creeping along at 20.4 mph. This is one reason the damage was so extensive. By traveling slowly the winds would batter a location for a longer period of time and do more damage.

The map shows the location of all F/EF5 tornadoes since 1950 in the United States. They are listed below.

State with the most F/EF5s - Alabama - 7 Month With the Most F/EF5s - April - 20; May - 20 Day with the most F/EF5s - April 3, 1974 - 7 ========================================================== # DATE LOCATION ========================================================== No EF5 Tornadoes Touched Down in 2012

The official database of tornado touchdowns goes back onlyto 1950, but we know of thousands of tornadoes before that. Thecandidates for designation as an EF5 tornado back to 1880 are listed below.

Inmany cases there may not be enough information to make a good determination. Rural areas with few buildings would get little press and constructiontechnology was different then in both cases it is possible no conclusion may bepossible. This research will take plenty of hands on research in locallibraries and historical societies and many years to complete.

For the rest of the day, there will be more storms and showers that pop up in the afternoon. This is the new normal with the heat during the afternoon, and the extra moisture in the air. The good news for today is that there are a lot more clouds today, and that is keeping the temperature down a few degrees. That should help limit any storms this afternoon. So we will still likely see some develop, but not as many. Tonight, any rain we see should come to an end.
